The Waynesville Veterinary Hospital was established by Dr. Joseph D’Amico in 1981. The business operated out of its original site as an equine & small animal practice, located just adjacent to the present location. Dr. D’Amico worked as a solo practitioner for ten years, welcoming Dr. Dave Studzinski in the spring of 1990. Dr. Studzinski provided much needed relief in this now busy practice, adding his expertise to all areas of the practice. We moved into our new facility in October 1997, a modern, state of the art building, located at our present location, just inside Clearcreek Township.

        It was here that we decided to cease operations of the equine portion of the practice in the summer of 1998, concentrating our full efforts on the companion animal practice. Dr. Christy Susec joined us in 2003, again adding relief to our growing practice. Dr. Joe and Dr. Dave mentored Dr. Susec prior to her formal veterinary education, so her transition into the practice was smooth and efficient. As the practice evolved, it became clear that a staff surgeon was needed, especially in the area of orthopedics and orthopedic surgery. Dr. Maury Docton joined us, and continues to lend his surgical prowess to an ever increasing orthopedic caseload. We feel that this complement of fine doctors, as well as our caring, compassionate staff, offers our clients topnotch pet health care at the Waynesville Veterinary Hospital.
